Re: basics please

If you can get a  working DBMail and a working Postfix install then your 
two small steps away:

STEP 1 - Add dbmail as a transport to Postfix's master.cf

From the dbmail INSTALL file:

6.      Configure your MTA
       -- MTA installation for postfix --
       In the master.cf file for postfix add the following:

       dbmail    unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
           flags=  user=dbmail:dbmail argv=/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp 
-d ${recipient}

STEP 2 - Configure Postfix to deliver mail for your domain to be 
delivered through dbmail. (assumes your domain is yourdomain.com)

Add the following to your "transport" config .

<domain>                dbmail:

If you used a hash of /etc/postfix/transport to configure your transport 
info you would  add the following to your /etc/postfix/transport:
yourdomain.com                dbmail:

If you were using a Mysql table to provide transport info (based on 
"most" Postfix Mysql howtos)
Then the "domain" field would be: yourdomain.com
The transport field would be: dbmail:

Forgetting to add the colon, ":", after the transport mechanism will 
cause failure.
